Kerning (via Xkcd)
I’ve always liked the word “kerning.” Reminds of “kernals.” Which reminds me of corn. True fact.
Last thing I’ll say about ‘The Blind Assassin’ (and Downton Abbey)
On this blog, I don’t tend to record my random, minute thoughts about books while I’m reading them. But with the second season finale of Downton Abbey all coming to a close last Sunday, I thought this was a mildly-appropriate, blog-like thought. I’m not going to lie: I have a tendency to become obsessed with [...]
Love and Honor
I like how they worked the Sperrys and broomball into this. Eat your heart out, everyone else who isn’t a Redhawk! Oh and love the Tappan Hall reference. Freshmen dorm of the stars (or the honors kids).
BONES. BONES. BONES.
Season seven premieres TONIGHT, everyone … TONIGHT! I’m not going to lie — I’ve become sort of obsessed with this show. At first, I thought it was annoying because it would interrupt my Law & Order viewing marathons on TNT. Then, I decided to watch a few episodes instead of changing the channel. Then, I [...]

It’s about…blah blah blah, pretentious babble, etc.” What with keeping up with what’s going on in Metro Detroit, sites like MediaBistro, Omnivoracious and other book blogs have unfortunately fallen [...]
Miami University is MAC Champions!
Miami, my alma mater, beat Northern Illinois University last night at Ford Field, winning the 2010 MAC Championship! I think NIU is nationally ranked or something like that (I’m no football fan), but we won with a last-second touchdown, sending us to a bowl game for the first time since Roethlisberger was on the team. [...]
The surprising truth about what motivates us
Joel showed me this video a few days ago, and it was so cool, I thought I’d share.
The power of Words
OK, so I know I didn’t post anything here Wednesday or yesterday. Erm, sorry about that one. I took a few days away from my computer, and spent it catching up on New Yorkers, watching quality television, and playing with two very energetic kittens. To make up for it, here’s a video called “Words,” presented [...]
